According to the unofficial information DRI was provided with, the condition of T.G. who fell into the several-meter deep well on November 3 in Akhalgori is critical.The injured person has multiple bruises, swelling of the face and body, difficulty to speak.
The patient could not be transported to the Georgian-controlled territory against the wish of the relatives who requested the transportation of the injured person on the day of the accident. The de facto authoritiestransferred him/her from Akhalgori district hospital to Tskhinvali and stated that the patient received all the necessary medical help. Currently, T.G. is discharged from Tskhinvali medical facility and is at home.
Due to the low-quality healthcare in the occupied regions, this is not the only case when the qualified medical care on-site is not available for the patients.
The Democracy Research Institute calls on the authorities to do their utmost, including using the assistance of international partners to transport the injured T.G. to Georgian-controlled territory.
Especially in the current tense political climate, the issue of the Service’s politicisation has become even more apparent.
While "Georgian Dream" continues to entrench its control over Georgia's public institutions, the country’s anti-corruption mechanisms are being repurposed not to hold those in power accountable, but to target independent civil society organizations in Georgia.
After the European Commission published a harsh assessment about Georgia, the Prosecutor’s Office charged opposition leaders with serious crimes against the State.
